Net income $670,321.20

Answer: 42.70 is the correct answer but I keep getting 43.42

Here are the steps I am using:

DIO = Days Inventory Outstanding

= Inventory/COGS * 365

= (628,000/4,726,898) *365

= 48.49

DSO = Days Sales Outstanding

= Accounts Receivable/(Credit Sales Per Day/365)

=299,000 / (6,387,700/365)

=299,000 / 17,500.55

=17.09

DPO = Days Payable Outstanding

= Accounts Payable/ (COGS/DAYS)

= 287,000 / (4,726,898/365)

= 287,000 / 12,950.41

= 287,000 / 12,950.41

= 22.16

=DIO + DSO - DPO

= 48.49 + 17.09 - 22.16

= 43.42
